Live at The New York Studio school with Ukrainian born artist, Alla Broeksmit, and sister and poet, Stella Hayes. “The New York Studio School was founded in 1964 by Mercedes Matter, in collaboration with a group of students and faculty, during a time of cultural ferment. To this day, it is bound by a sense of mission, one that has often stood in counterpoint to the prevailing tastes of the art world. During the heyday of Pop, conceptual art, and minimalism, the School emphasized drawing, working from life, and a sustained studio practice. To delve into the history, however, is to become aware of the contradictions inherent in a school run by some of the most passionate minds of the New York art world.“ Jennifer Sachs Samet Closely held memories of childhood in Kyiv and deeply rooted remembrances of family and beloved places fuel the dreamlike imagery of Alla Broeksmit's art. Gestural brushwork and the tactility of hand-mixed pigments in the muted palette of faded frescoes lend texture and atmosphere to her expressively rendered paintings, evoking a sense of time past, recalled to the present. Broeksmit has pursued painting since the 1990s, studying at Parsons School of Design in New York City, then co-founding the Lots Road Group with fellow artists from the Heatherly School of Fine Art after moving to London in 1997. During this period, her paintings were primarily figurative and focused on portraiture, taking inspiration from the heavily impastoed, psychological portraits of Lucian Freud. In 2017, Broeksmit received her MFA from the New York Studio School, where Dean Graham Nickson encouraged her to work on a larger scale and to take “a more instinctual, visceral approach” to painting. Instructors Judy Glantzman, Kyle Staver, and Elisa Jensen were also instrumental in her development of an individualized visual language and in exposing her to the descriptive and emotional expression of color, as seen in her work. Stella Hayes is the author of a poetry collection, One Strange Country (What Books Press, November 2020). Hayes earned a creative writing degree at University of Southern California. Her work has been nominated for the Best of the Net and for the Pushcart Prize, as well as appeared in Prelude, The Poetry Project's The Recluse, The Lake and Spillway, among others, and is forthcoming from Stanford's Mantis and Poet Lore. She began her life in a book-filled home in an agricultural town an hour outside of Kiev, then part of the Soviet Union. In 1977, her family of five — her father excluded — left for the U.S., settling first in Chicago. At USC, she studied creative writing with a focus on poetry with celebrated poet David St. John, chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. More recently, she has taken advanced classes in poetry and fiction at 92Y and was asked to do a reading there in the spring of 2018. She is a graduate student at NYU M.F.A in poetry and is assistant fiction editor at Washington Square Review. theartcareer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Jane South: ⁠⁠@janesouth⁠ New York Studio School: @ny_studioschool Alla Broeksmit: @artallastudio Stella Hayes: stellahayes.com Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theartcareer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast host: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@emilymcelwreath_art⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Editing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@benjamin.galloway⁠

Sea of Shizuura, Namazu (1938) 15.4"x10.2" Tsuchiya Kōitsu (1870 - 1949) - apprenticed under artist and print designer Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915) and worked as a lithographer. Kōitsu then joined the Watanabe atelier in 1935. Kōitsu also collaborated with Doi Sadachi publishers, amongst others. Kintai Bridge, ca 1930's. postcard size print Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) - a designer of more than six hundred woodblock prints, Kawase Hasui, is one of the most famous designers of the shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Hasui began his career with the artist and woodblock designer Kaburaki Kiyokata (1878-1971), joining several artistic societies early in his career. It wasn't until he joined the Watanabe atelier in 1918 that he began to gain recognition. Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) had Hasui design landscapes of the Japanese countryside, small towns, and everyday life. Hasui also worked closely with the carvers and printers of his prints to reach the level Hasui wanted his prints to be.

Pooling is exposed when testing your carving but can be fixed by recarving the part of the block causing tamari or altering the amount of ink or water used. cyanotype - a type of work that uses iron compounds and creates various blues when exposed to UV light. More info here. Van Dyke Brown - is a photographic printing process named after painter Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641). The method uses various chemicals, then exposes the negative of the photograph as print to ultraviolet light. The final print is a brown colour. Very similar to cyanotype, but the chemicals create a different shade of print. More info can be found on Mark Hillier's blog, and here. sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.

Size is made from water, animal glue (rabbit, horse), and alum. What the size does is keep the pigments the artist uses from “bleeding” into the outer edges of the paper. There are many recipes of size, here is one that artist Walter J. Phillips used. © Popular Wheat Productions opening and closing musical credit - Ahmad Jamal - Pavanne (1960) from the album Happy Moods on Verve Records logo designed and produced by Douglas Batchelor and André Zadorozny Disclaimer: Please do not reproduce or use anything from this podcast without shooting me an email and getting my express written or verbal consent.

"For several years I had been thinking about writing a book about my son Scotty, he has a rare syndrome and developmental delays. One day in June 2020, on Facebook someone said you should write a book about Spillway and Scotty and I said to myself yes, I've been wanting to do that, so at that moment, I texted Heidi and asked her if she would write a book about Spillway and Scotty with me and she said yes! That was on a Tuesday and on Wednesday I was on zoom with my mom and she had said that she woke up too early that morning to get up and was thinking about Spillway and Scotty and decided to put her thoughts down on paper and it was a letter from Spillway talking about how lucky he was to be Scotty‘s friend. That's where we got the idea to write the book from Spillway's point of view. Then on that Thursday, our illustrator sent me two drawings, one of Spillway on a surfboard and one on skis and said she thought Scotty might like those for his picture book. I knew right away that this was the time and it was meant to be to write this book. So Heidi and I got together on zoom from June to August and wrote the book. Heidi has already written a couple of books and she's a third grade teacher. Having her start writing the book inspired me to write, and it was such a fun process. When she read the first lines of the book, I was in tears, and I still cry sometimes. Once we were done the book, we needed a publisher, so I put it out on Facebook, and a friend of mine connected me with Stephanie Mulligan, the publisher of McSea Books, and in our first conversation, we realized that she knew Scotty because she was an Ed Tech to one of his classmates in our school district! I knew she had to publish our book."The story behind this book and its message is one I HAD to share with you!Learn more about everything the Wentzell Family is doing at https://spillwayandscotty.com/Welcome to the Strength For Your Purpose Podcast where Dr. Phil Finemore, PT, DPT, Cert.

Our combined fabric of destiny. (3a) As Dr. King said, our humanities are deeply interconnected to each other. Racism negatively impacts me, too.

What does it mean to hold cancel culture as White supremacist and shame culture? Loran and Jenny sit down with Evangeline Weiss, founder of Beyond Conflict & co-founder of We Are Finding Freedom to talk about how cancel culture replicates White supremacy culture and the intersection of race and gender as it applies to White women. Questions include: How do we hold the evolving nature of the human experience amidst accountability (and accountability abuse)? How do we get more White people to center love in our work? What does forgiveness and grace look like in our work of supporting other White people? How do we make sense of the intersection of gender and race? Do White women have any inherent qualities or attributes? What, if anything, do you want to interrupt & expand within White women? How do we find other White people to unpack racial equity with?

The Spillway: How We Start

What does it mean to be a White person in the US today? If you mention or see race, you're racist. If you don't mention or see race, you're racist. A few months ago, I (Loran) started an organization, The Spillway, around supporting White people to work through Perpetrator Induced Traumatic Stress (PITS) and interGenerational trauma. I offer the services within The Spillway with the acknowledgment that healing work is merely one mechanism within a larger network required to sustain our collective movement towards racial justice. I seek to grow the services available rather than redistribute where we put our efforts and funding. To get this message out there, I've asked one of the most compassionate, ferociously tender, hilarious, and incredibly smart humans I know, Jenny, to join me on this podcasting journey. Jenny and I come from similar yet separate backgrounds. Importantly, we offer incredibly different perspectives, sometimes just by who we are as people and other times by the different identities we hold. We are committed to building compassion, understanding, empathy, and patience into the present and future of Whiteness and White Culture. We cannot change the past. But, we can change the future through the actions we take today. We seek to embody the work of James Baldwin, Sonya Renee Taylor, Kazu Haga, Resmaa Menekem, and Kai Cheng Thom and countless others asking for White people to (in so many words) get our shit together. Since starting The Spillway, there's been consistent feedback—sometimes within the same space—that White people are engaging this work with closed hearts and minds This work can be difficult and beautiful. It is an exercise in vulnerability, in unlearning perfectionism, with real-world consequences, in an age of 7-second judgments. We hope The Spillway and our living in it can give others the courage that is needed to join us in this work. We know that attempting to be vulnerable and consenting to learn in public is incredibly terrifying work. And yet we have to start somewhere. Conversations of race and racism aren't going away anytime soon. Given our incredibly different places in the world, we're trying to create a middle ground where White people can get together to talk and create action around the paradox of being White in the US, where we are simultaneously the perpetrators and victims of the race and racism. We seek to embody the work of countless activists of color who have been calling White folks to seek our own healing around race and racism. So here we are, two White people committing to the work of individual and collective healing around race and racism for white people. Healing ourselves is no one's responsibility but our own. Let's Heal together and Grow to stop the impacts of race and racism in the lives of People of Color, and our lives as well. ===== Welcome to our podcast.

In the conclusion of our first attempt at a community assessment of White people and Whiteness, Loran and Jenny sit down to discuss the incredibly thoughtful interviews, moments, and themes which left a lasting impact on them. Questions include: What clips had the biggest impact on you and why? What five themes did you find were being repeated over and over again? What three clips keep creeping into your consciousness when you least expect them? What was the hardest thing to learn/hold and why? If you could have every White person in the US hear one clip, what would it be and why? Did anything surprise you in the making of this? What would you do over if you could?

Here we sit down with Dr. Amy Hillier, MSW, Associate Professor at The School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania with the following outline: What is CRT look like in your classrooms? What are we getting right and wrong about CRT today? What are White students saying in classrooms about race and racism? How do we translate ideas into praxis? Do you see a role in emotionally and physically locating and embodying ideas? Do you think de-centering Whiteness supports or undermines Derrick Bell's concept of interest convergence? Dr. Hillier's research has focused on historical housing and public health disparities including mortgage redlining, affordable housing, healthy foods, park use and access, and outdoor advertising. Her most recent research focuses on transgender youth and their families. With Dr. Stephanie Boddie, she co-directs http://www.dubois-theward.org/ (The Ward), a research, teaching, and public history project dedicated to sharing the timeless lessons about racism and the role of research in affecting social change based on W.E.B.

Why did they need an additional space like Breakthrough, when the world is their proverbial oyster? What does it mean to be fully human?

Sharon Tate, Andrew Borden, Charlie Lindbergh, Black Dahlia—if you immediately recognize these murder victims, then you're a Murderino just like Megan Collins. Her third thriller, The Family Plot (Atria), hailed “the quintessential summer thriller for true crime enthusiasts” by Apartment Therapy, follows an unconventional family obsessed with true crime—until they're at the center of one. The Lighthouse siblings were raised in a secluded Rhode Island mansion by true crime-obsessed parents, who named them after murder victims—Dahlia, Charlie, Tate, and Andy—and encouraged murder reenactments. At 26, Dahlia remains haunted by her upbringing and hasn't been able to move beyond the disappearance of her twin brother Andy, who vanished a decade ago. Now that her father has passed away, Dahlia returns to the house she's avoided for years, along with Charlie and Tate. But the family makes a gruesome discovery: buried in their father's plot is another body—Andy's, his skull split open with an ax, just like his namesake. As Dahlia grapples with her own grief and horror, she realizes that her eccentric family, and the mansion itself, may hold the answers to what happened to her twin. Megan Collins is the author of The Family Plot, Behind the Red Door, and The Winter Sister. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Boston University. She has taught creative writing at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts and Central Connecticut State University, and she is the managing editor of 3Elements Review.

395. Part 2 of our interview with Hans Sternberg & James Shelledy. We Were Merchants. The words “Goudchaux’s / Maison Blanche” conjure up a wealth of fond memories for local shoppers. At this landmark Louisiana department store, clerks greeted you by name; children received a nickel to buy a Coke and for every report-card A; families anticipated the holiday arrival of the beloved puppet Mr. Bingle almost as much as Santa; teenagers applied for their first job; and customers enjoyed interest-free charge accounts and personal assistance selecting attire and gifts for the most significant occasions in life—baptisms, funerals, and everything in between. In We Were Merchants, Hans Sternberg provides a captivating account of how his parents, Erich and Lea, fled from Nazi Germany to the United States, embraced their new home, and together with their children built Goudchaux’s into a Baton Rouge legend that eventually became Goudchaux’s / Maison Blanche — an independent retail force during the golden era of the department store and, by 1989, the largest family-owned department store in America.This week in Louisiana history.

Toxic Algae Cause Mississippi Beaches to Halt Water Activities

レアジョブ英会話 Daily News Article Podcast

Beaches in Mississippi, United States, have been closed down for swimming because of toxic algae. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality recently ordered the closure of 21 beaches to the public. Apart from swimming, other water activities have been prohibited because of harmful algal bloom (HAB)—the rapid and uncontrollable formation of toxic plant organisms in the sea. Authorities warned that coming in contact with toxic algae may cause health problems, such as skin rashes and stomach flu, in humans. Much worse, the bacteria from algae can have adverse effects on the liver and the brain. They can enter the food chain through contaminated animals that humans consume, including fish and other seafood. The toxic algae proliferated because of the flow of fresh floodwaters from the Bonnet Carre / ˈbɒniː ˈkɛriː / Spillway in Louisiana. The spillway had to be opened to keep the Mississippi River from rising and flooding the surrounding urban areas, which experienced an immensely wet winter. As a result, the large amounts of freshwater coming from the spillway lowered the ocean's salt content, leading the algae to thrive in the waters. With plenty of sunlight, the Mississippi beaches became a breeding ground for the toxic algae. Although there are warnings against swimming and getting in contact with the water, authorities said that the beaches' sanded areas are safe. They encouraged beachgoers to continue doing non-water activities on the beach. In addition, experts assured the public that the seafood from Mississippi beaches is closely monitored and safe for consumption. According to the executive director of the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, the seafood in the area is undergoing daily testing.

This led to a reenactment of the well-known songwriter fable, moving from Toronto, Canada, to California, where he followed the muse of story-telling and poetry into San Francisco State University’s Creative Writing program (B.A. ‘93, M.A. ‘95). His poetry is published in several journals such as Raven Chronicles, Pedestal Magazine, and Spillway; he won Thomas Merton’s Poetry of the Sacred prize; was a three-time winner of the Maggie H. Meyer Memorial Contest, 2011/2013/2015; Ina Coolbrith prize for Nature poem 2015, and was featured in the 9th Annual Berkeley Poetry Festival. He is Anishinaabe/Ojibway (Chippewa) Indian from his mother’s side. His book, Voyages to Ancestral Islands, which won a Cultural Literary Award from Artists Embassy International (San Francisco, 2013), tells the story of reuniting with his Ojibwe ancestors of West Bay (M’Chigeeng) First Nation Reserve. Dave’s wife, singer/songwriter Chappell Holt, accompanies his SF Bay Area live performances on guitar.

Since the 1930s, delighted throngs have gathered just outside Linesville, Pennsylvania, to toss bread to a writhing stew of carp and ducks at the Linesville Spillway. The carp are so thick that mallard ducks literally hop, skip and jump on the fishes' backs to compete for a slice of bread. Famous worldwide as the place “where ducks walk on the fish,” the Spillway draws as many as a half-million tourists a year, part of a small but critical tourism economy bolstered by the sale of day-old Wonder Bread from bread shanties that line local streets. But recently, the people of Linesville learned about some big changes planned for the spillway. Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister paid a visit and, in collaboration with musician Tim Fite, have the fishy tale of the fight for the right to throw bread - the latest in their Song+Story series. (Produced in 2008; description from the original broadcast.)
